Tattersalls Musidora Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)

Off time: 15:35 | Winning time: 2m 10.5s

Blue Gardenia¹⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 93

40/1

Listed winner at Newmarket in November on soft ground, causing a minor upset in the progress and the form of that race looks solid. Will need more against these rivals on contrasting ground but yard are hitting form.

Form: 32521-

Dubai Blue²⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: S bin Suroor

10/1

Improved from debut to win a Lingfield Class 4 fillies' novice event in September. Yard's runners don't usually lack anything in the fitness department and she's open to sizable improvement up in trip on her return.

Form: 81-

Entitle¹⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden

12/1

Half-sister to Enable. Very green on debut and showed similar signs at Lingfield in December, despite overcoming a slow start to get her head in front. Every chance she will do better as a three-year-old.

Form: 61-

Frankellina²⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas

11/4

Justified a short-price on debut at Yarmouth and the form of that race has been boosted subsequently. Should relish this step up in trip and very much one to be interested in here. Yard won this last year.

Form: 1-

Fresnel¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Halpin| T: J Davison| OR: 98

16/1

Dundalk winner on debut and has run well in two pattern races subsequently without managing to hit the frame. Vulnerable to less exposed sorts in a race of this depth.

Form: 154

I'll Have Another¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 97

28/1

Held her own in Listed company at the back end of last season and ran okay last time out at Newmarket. While trainer is adept at finding improvement in seemingly exposed sorts, this filly has her work cut out in a race as deep as this.

Form: 1323-63

Nausha²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| BF

14/1

Impressive when winning on debut at Newbury but disappointed when too keen at Kempton on her return last month. Had shown signs of that trait on first start and needs to leave that effort behind here; up in trip.

Form: 1-4

(4)

Sand Share²⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 101

8/1

Won on debut at Kempton and has shaped okay in two starts in Group company since, though was a beaten short-priced favourite at Deauville on her return. Well bred and interesting if ready to go on seasonal debut here.

Form: 134-

Sparkle Roll¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| D

7/4

Improved from debut to win her next two starts, most recently at Sandown on her return. Runner-up didn't do the form any favours next time out in Listed class and she may be a little vulnerable to some who have achieved more.

Form: 51-1

(10)

Swift Rose⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 99

25/1

Won at Wolverhampton on debut and largely acquitted herself well on dirt at Meydan this winter. Would need to improve for the switch to turf here but that's not impossible given her pedigree and one to note in the market on her return here.

Form: 1-5025

Forecasts

Sparkle Roll (7/4), Frankellina (11/4), Sand Share (8/1), Dubai Blue (10/1), Entitle (12/1), Nausha (14/1), Fresnel (16/1), Swift Rose (25/1), I'll Have Another (28/1), Blue Gardenia (40/1)

ENTITLE showed signs of inexperience on her first two starts but she could be a different proposition as a three-year-old given that she's a half-sister to Enable and she's one to note in the market here. William Haggas won this last year and Frankellina looks sure to benefit from a step up in trip here while Swift Rose has experience on her side and has scope to improve for the switch to turf from dirt.
